is this natural sugars? surely the normal cant be that loaded if its half the sugar?
the cheapo one is a third of the price and while maybe not as good tasting
but its still an option at e1.09! is there that much of a difference nutritionally?

many thanks

100g or peanuts should have about 15g carbs, and 4g sugar. The cheapo one is somehow missing a lot of carbs that should be there. The organic one has around the right amount of carbs/sugars to 91g of peanuts.
I find it strange that they are both 91% peanuts, which means the no-added sugar one has almost 9% palm oil, yet the fat content is lower.

Probably to do with quality of nuts, the way they are processed, or lazy labeling
